Well, I would sure like to have better face recognition in digiKam. I'm
using Version 7.0.0-beta3 and enjoying it, but I don't even try to use face
recognition now. Maybe working more now with students will enable a quicker
release of digiKam with usable face recognition.
Again, thanks for all the work you all are doing on digiKam.
